-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Use the TRAILING_OVERLAP() helper to fix the following warning:

drivers/media/platform/xilinx/xilinx-dma.h:99:41: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

This helper creates a union between a flexible-array member (FAM)
and a set of members that would otherwise follow it. This overlays
the trailing members onto the FAM while preserving the original
memory layout.

Lastly, the static_assert() ensures the alignment between the FAM
and struct data_chunk sgl; is not inadvertently changed, and it's
intentionally placed inmediately after the related structure (that
is, no blank line in between).
